CAE has been awarded contracts to design and develop a comprehensive naval training center for the United Arab Emirates Navy.

The agreement, by General Headquarters of the UAE Armed Forces, will provide the UAE Joint Aviation Command with helicopter simulators and training devices for the NorthStar Aviation Bell Helicopter 407 multi-role helicopter and the Sikorsky UH-60M armed Black Hawk.

The facility will feature integrated ship simulation-based training suites as well as maritime aircraft sensor stations. It will be located in Taweelah and is expected to be complete by 2019.
